Season Two of ‘Whitstable Pearl’ To Debut on Acorn TV on November 28

Written by John Edward Betancourt

Last year saw the debut of a bevy of cozy mysteries. Some of which offered audiences more than just the usual fun stuff that such mysteries reside within. Take the Acorn TV series, Whitstable Pearl for instance. For this was a cozy mystery that really did a wonderful job of focusing on its characters and their growth, and the raw nature of the human experience. Which led to some powerful stories, the kind that engaged us emotionally and invested us as well and this show did such an incredible job of pulling us into Pearl Nolan’s world, that we’ve been anxiously awaiting more of her moving adventures, and thankfully… that wait is about to end.
​
For earlier today, Acorn TV let it be known that season two of Whitstable Pearl will debut on November 28, 2022, and to really build up excitement for it, they provided fans of this series with more than just the premiere date. For the network also released a trailer and some details on what we can expect from season two and without further ado, here are those details and that trailer to prepare you for Pearl’s return, courtesy of Acorn TV.

‘The Acorn TV Original cozy seaside mystery series, Whitstable Pearl, returns ashore for its second season premiering Monday, November 28 with two episodes on Acorn TV, AMC Networks’ acclaimed streamer devoted to British and international television. Two new episodes will premiere weekly every Monday through December 12. Starring Kerry Godliman (After Life, Derek) as the titular Pearl Nolan, a restaurateur with a knack for investigation, Season Two will find Pearl in the middle of some big changes and even bigger cases including a potential kidnapping, a voyeuristic investigation of a man across the street, and the attempted murder of a ‘70s starlet.
 
In Season One, Pearl (Godliman) juggled her commitments to the restaurant—the eponymous—Whitstable Pearl—with her ‘side hustle’ as a PI. Season Two, however, finds Pearl prioritizing her detective work—transitioning from being a chef who solves crimes to a full-time investigator who just happens to own a restaurant. It’s also been six months since the breakdown of her fleeting romance with DCI Mike McGuire (Howard Charles, Shadow and Bone, The Musketeers); the two former lovers have decided to remain friends, and both have moved on…fast. With every new case she takes, it always seems to begrudgingly overlap with Mike’s police investigations. Charged by a determination to outdo each other (and a fiery mutual attraction), it’s a race to solve each case, but when they work together, they make a hell of a team.
 
This season features the return of Frances Barber (Mr. Holmes, The Chelsea Detective) as Pearl’s spitfire mother and Rohan Nedd (Harry Wild) as Pearl’s humorous and caring son, as well as new cast members Robert Webb (Peep Show, Back) as Pearl’s kind albeit righteous boyfriend and Emily Head (The Inbetweeners, The Syndicate) as Mike’s new outgoing, sunny girlfriend.
 
Executive Producers for Whitstable Pearl Season 2 are Anna Burns, Richard Tulk-Hart and Tony Wood for Buccaneer Media; Catherine Mackin and Bea Tammer for Acorn Media Enterprises; Øystein Karlsen, Mike Walden, and Julie Wassmer. Writers are Mike Walden, Jess Williams, and Kam Odedra. The producer of the series is Letitia Knight. Created for TV by Øystein Karlsen.’
